THE EXAMINATIONS.
It is the opinion of the writer that by proper management on part of the Faculty a large majority of these cases might be prevented. There might be saved the extreme danger incident to the sense of humiliation and shame with which they have been forced to abandon an enterprise in which their hopes, and the hopes of their parents were largely centered.
[The COURIER is not responsible for the opinions expressed in this column.]
A boy enters his appropriate classes at the University, and for five long months he is allowed to drift. If he attends his recitations it is all right, and if he is absent one third of the time that seems to be all right too. If he learns his lessons and recites them it is satisfactory; and if he knows nothing about them that seems to be equally so. With an occasional conference with the disciplinary committee this continues to the end of the term, and then at the close of the examinations the boy is informed by the clerk, that he is a failure. He slips out of the back door of the University and steals away to his home. His arrival there overwhelmed with shame and overwhelming them with grief is the first notice his parents or guardian have received that their son or ward was not attending faithfully to his duties at school.
It is admitted that this management of the student is the easiest way for the Professors but it is self evident that it is extremely expensive and disastrous to those attentive and wayward boys. They are complacently left to drift to destruction, when a strong hand and a resolute voice, might
The semi-annual examinations are over with. Most of the boys and girls have weathered the storm, and are away again with flying colors for another half year cruise. This is the story of the great majority of the students at the University, but it is not the story of them all. There are a few unfortunate ones who have failed to pass in one or more studies, and some of these have already "packed their grip" and started home more than half persuaded that life is a failure, and fully persuaded that however it may be with life, as for them individually, the question is irrevocably settled. This trip in disgrace back to the farm or the native village is a very hard and dangerous one for a boy or girl to be obliged to make, and ought if possible to be avoided.
put them into a current that would bear them towards a respectable manhood.
The trouble is that no effort is made at the beginning to set these boys right. The second or third failure in recitation, and the second or third absence from a recitation should receive the prompt attention of the instructor. To stop such back-sliding it must be stopped at once. It will be much easier to arrest this tendency to worthlessness at the beginning than it will have the habit has acquired a six months growth. What would be thought of a parent or guardian who would allow his son or ward, to run at large for five months and then on discovering that he was failing with his studies, should quietly turn him out of doors? This seems to be exactly the course that is being pursued by the Faculty of the K. S. U. Gentlemen it seems to the writer that this is not the best way. It certainly is not the way that every other person in the world is obliged to pursue who attempts to have any control over the young. What would be the objection to a little more care and attention on your part? After a boy appears in his class three or four times without his lesson, why take him to one side and remarks to him in an evasive manner, "What have you been about, Sir, that you haven't got these lessons? My room is for students and not for loafers"? The beginning of the treatment should be temperate and mild, and more horoic later on if the symptoms become aggravated. Ninety nine of these cases out of every hundred could be redeemed if the proper remedies were administered in time. To the incorrigible life should be made a burden, and he should be driven from the University at the end of the first month and not allowed to load around the halls and reitation rooms for five.
It is admitted that 95 per cent of the students at the University require no stimulant of this kind. It is also claimed that the 5 per cent who do need it should have some attention, and not be allowed to go to the dogs with "no eye to pity and no arm to save."
Prof. Loisette's Memory system is creating greater interest than ever in all parts of the country, and all persons wishing to improve their memory should send for his prospectus free as advertised in another column.
HILL AND DALE.
A. B. C.
To the beautiful residence of Prof. Sayre on Monday evening were invited the Junior class in in Pharmacy.
Mrs. Sayre the hostess of the evening was assisted by Mrs, Prof. Wilcox. Profs. Sayre and Wilcox played boys again and mingled in the life of the hour without reserve, making every one feel at home. The host and hostess and guests "went in" for a jolly good time and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves until an early hour 'in the morning.'
Prof. and Mrs Sayre are excellent entertainers and their receptions are noted for their excellence.
In a pleasant little chat with the ex-leader of the Barbs, John Sullivan, now of Kansas City, the Courier man gleaned from him many interesting acts concerning the newspaper business on the hill years ago. Among other things he mentioned how the two Couriers used to squabble over the mails, and how the merchants shut off on their ads compelling the B.M's, Editor-in-Chiefs, Personal and Local Editors all in one to go to K.C. to procure the necessary wherewith to pay the printer. And then he spoke of the Review and how it came by its present name, by taking the Review from its old name and the University from the Courier; and about the University News with our present Vice-Chancellor at its head. This paper ran for a few months and suffered a violent death. It was overburdon with a Board of Directors and as this august body had had nothing to do with the paper heretofore they wished to make a name for themselves and got, in their deadly work by ordering the publication of the paper to cease. There was a kick on this and when John printed the next issue for them with more black ink and tombstones than any thing else to speak of there was a big row. It was easy enough to die but to be buried by your adversary was the last straw on the already overburdened dromedary. Mr. Sullivan continued talking in his usual interesting manner and reiterated his portentious decree that Fraternity rule must be broken.
It is fast becoming apparent that the Law School of K. S. U. is winning a distinguished place among those of the west. Its struggles from the deepest obscurity to its present
eminent position is the source of sincere praise and gratification. To whom belongs the credit of this succes? Unhesitatingly we say to Prof, James Greene, Dean of the School. With a devotion unparalleled he has labored unceasingly for the good of the School: he has wrought with but one object in view, to raise and maintain its standard. How he has succeeded let the prosperity and popularity of the School stand as a happy, undeniable proof.
It is interesting to note the numberless obstacles with which the Professor must continually contend. It is impossible to comprehend his troublesome position without daily associations in his classes. Each year brings to him a motley crowd of curious Jayhawkers. The initiary class is a wonderful mass of varigated humanity. With the polished man and the supercileous A. B. is mixed the country pedagogue and horny handed son of toil. How these forces are brought into a harmoneous whole is almost a mystery: Yet under Prof. Greens pounding powers the result is decidedly pleasant. The secret of his success is just a little muted unless it be his remarkable popularity with his pupils. He seems to find at once the needs and wishes of every student; he certainly wins at once their esteem and good will. Always pleasant, he has a kind word and radiant smile for all. Every student is positive that in his able instructor he has found a friend and sympathizer. Quick to catch a joke, he is quicker to suppress the smile of ridicule. Though frank and fearless in the expression of his opinions, no teacher had more the respect and confidence of his pupils.
With an instructor so earnest, so able, and so popular, there can be no fear about the future success of our Law School.

We went up the hill last Friday evening to hear the first program of the new Literary Club. We were positive that there was a new Literary Club and we had reasons to believe that a program had been prepared. We never climbed old Mt. Oread with more confidence for an evening of pleasure. We trod through the hall with supreme indifference, unflinchingly bent on the realization of our happy conception. We bounded up the stairs, grabbed at the nob of the door of Orphilian Hall. We grabbed and that was all! admittance was impossible. We had been sold! We felt that we were the butt of an inhuman joke. We returned to the first floor and looked in vain for the members of the new club. None were to be seen,—yes, there was one. We meekly approached the lonely "one" and asked him in an undertone for an explanation of the peculiar situation. We asked him if the new literary club was not to give its first program that evening. He was startled at our question and taking us off to a secluded corner he mysteriously whispered: "Meeting? program? yes, we were to have one to-night, but you see the President and Executive Committee were suddenly made the victims of the some social engagement and they decided, as a thing most natural, to postpone the meeting for this evening. But, say, don't mention a word of it. It must be kept mum."
We listened in breathiness attention. The news was simply overwhelming. It seemed incredible that those who had sworn—and boasted—so much loyalty and love and determination to their new ideal infant should thus forsake it, should thus let it pine—ah, pine away. It seemed impossible that Pears and Brown and Roberts and Whitman should leave the cradle of their darling. But it was so, and just as we were contemplating the future fate and funeral of the poor forsaken thing we were greeted with the kind invitation of a friend to go with him and hear the program of the Adelphic Society. To our swimming brain that invitation was a timely one. We gladly accepted it. For the first time during the college year we listened to a creditable entertainment given by a literary society. Our pride for K. S. U. seemed to rise and stir itself as we noted such excellent and thorough work. We were so interested indeed that we forgot all about President Pears and the new club.
A well prepared and delivered oration by the coming orator of K. S. U., C. S. Hall, was the feature of the evening. Tom
Hunt's essay on the relation of mankind to climate was above the average. The singing of the Quartette would have pleased a contest audience. The debate Resolved, That Speaker Reed's decisions were correct, was tolerably handled by Riggs, Hall, Dickinson and Chapman. The crude work of the debaters was another proof of that big, weak spot in the education of K. S. U.—oratorical training. The critic's report by Mr. Virtue was the keenest, brightest and most sensible that we have heard in a long while.
We went down the hill with conflicting thoughts about the Adelphic Literary Society and the Kansas Literary Club.
Our Exchanges.
The Occident, University of California, is upon our table. Attractive in its make up, its editorial and literary work shows a sensible amount of good digestion and broad thinking. Friend Occident, we always have said that California was the best place in the world for editors; there is no chance of gettling the dyspepsia or big head in that state.
The Athenian is a fort-nightly magazine published at the Illinois Wesleyan University in the interest of the fraternities. Its literature is excellent and there is a spirit of fairness about it that is very pleasant. You are about true blue, friend Athenian.
The University Voice, Wooster Ohio, has a tone about it that is charming. It meets pretty nearly our conception of a college weekly journal.
The Newspaper Union, a journal devoted to the newspaper and printing interests of the north west, is one of our most interesting exchanges.
We are in receipt of several sample copies of the Journalist. Allen Forman is the distinguished editor of this as of many able publications. For many years the constant reader of the Journalist we can testify to its great excellence.
The Weekly University. Courier contains locals and witticisms in abundance. We believe that it makes no pretensions to high literary merit- The Monthly Northwestern University.
Pretensions? None other than to make the Courier a spicy and interesting journal, pure enough in its literary tone to merit the approval of the sensible. For further pretensions, Mr. M., we refer you to the Courier.
In our double support of the Adelphic and Kansas Literary societies we want to be understood. While refusing to utterly admit the general principle that fraternity and non-fraternity men cannot unite amicably and successfully in the maintainance of a creditable literary society, we are compelled to believe that their present separation is is entirely justifiable. If the records of the past be any proof of this conclusion there are abundance of them. But take the facts as they are; deplorable as such a state of affairs is, K. S. U has in the organization of her literary societies a clear if not hopeless division of her fraternity and non-fraternity elements. This situation must be accepted: we accept it, but it is with the determination to make the best and the most of it. A partiality and partisanship that would applaud one society and denounce the other would be a most puerile exhibition of prejudice and bigotry. We purpose rather to support, encourage and defend both. Both will receive our impartial criticism and our unbiased praise. This position, we believe, will command the approval of every free minded and candid man. However that may be, this, gentlemen of the societies, is the COURIER'S position.
THE anti-fraternity article that appeared in the view columns of our last issue has caused not a little interesting speculation and discussion. Several times during the week our barb bretheren have approached us and expressed it as their opinion that this attack was not genuine, that it was not written by a non-fraternity man. We said then and we say now that an opinion was never farther from the truth.
But the simple expression of this opinion I was not all: threats and demands were made, yea verily they were. As the ananimously chosen (?) leader of his faction, Henry Clay Riggs violently demanded in his big headed style that we make known the author of the COURIER's article: Not only did the pompous champion do that, but he threatened, if it must be told, to withdraw the barb support from the COURIER. Jupitor! What a terrifierizer that was! These demands and threats simply paralyzed us.
Why, dear reader, the way Mr. Riggs shook around in his pantaloups pocket, the materiality of the barb support was enough to freeze the blood of a dead man. He not only shook it, but he pulled it out of his trowsers and chaced it several times around our head, and then had the severity to return it to his vest pocket. That was a blood-curdling sight.
Withdraw the barb support!
Who? Why? What? When?
Why? Because the COURIESR private business can't be somebody's else? It seems so! Why? Because the COURIER refuses to violate the confidence of a contributor? It must be that!
Who will? A self-appointed censor with more bravery than justice or good sense? Possibly.
What support? That warm and friendly feeling that exists among the non-fraternity men because of the COURIER's candid and unprejudicial policy? We believe not.
When? Following the publication of a contribution for whose opinions the COURIER expresses no approval or disapproval? or when everybody must smell into the business of everybody's else? Hardly.
Students of the K. S. U.: We appeal to your candor, your justice, your common sense, and we ask you if the COURIER has in this business been guilty of a single offense, and if Mr. Riggs has not won anew the garlands of imperial leadership?
WASN'T the first meeting of the new literary club a remarkable and auspicious opening? In all the society annals of K. S. U. was there ever given a better, a more successful entertainment? Did ever a new literary society begin its career in a more promising manner? Was ever an uncertain future made brighter? Members of the Kansas University Literary Club, we admire your first mighty victory; we congratulate your unparalleled success. To President Piears and Secretary Baker and Treasurer Roberts and to the loyal members of the K. U. L. C. is doubly due a vote of hearty thanks.
THIRA Spring is near at hand and the various athletic organizations should begin to practice and prepare for the contests with the neighboring colleges. The B.B. grounds should be cleaned off as soon as possible and the nine put in training. A good Inter-Fraternity Base Ball League would be of great assistance to the K. S.U. team. And we hope that the fraternities will organize a League and play a schedule of games.
WE sincerely hope that the first steps of the new Literary Club is no indication of its future career. High hopes and resolutions amount to nothing unless supplemented by bold facts and consistent efforts. Conscious of the great need of a stirring literary organization in the University—of one that is liberal and progressive, determined and beneficial, we see no reason why the Kansas Literary Club should not live, flourish and triumph. We believe it will.

THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER.
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY MORNING.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
Vol. VIII.
SUBSCRIPTION ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR
DR. CHAS.F. THWING.
The Regents Offer Him the Chancellor ship- His Visit to the U.
It's done; the Regents have spoken their little piece. After a deal of spitting and spurting and fussing and mussing, the new Chancellor has been selected. The election is the subject of the hour; the state and students and every body of sense is talking about it. Some are talking too much.
Last Tuesday it was made known that the regents had come to a decision on this most absorbing question. Then ews spread like wild fire, and before the rise of Wednesday's sun it was in the mouth of every wide awake Kansan.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAR.14, t800.
The advent of the prospective Chancellor that morning, was a thing of no little importance to the students of a headless University. The way the coming guardian of Mt. Oread was looked at and talked about would have satisfied the proudest man on earth.
Dr. Chas, H. Thwing, of Minneapolis, arrived in the city last Tuesday evening. He was escorted from Kansas City by Vice-Chancellor Spangler. The Dr. was taken to the hospitable home of Prof. Snow, where he was entertained during his vtsit.
Wednesday morning the Dr. paid the University a thorough visit, an inspecting tour as it were. He was conducted through the buildings by Proi Snow, V.-C. Spangler and several of the Regents.
I was exceedingly fortunate Wednesday evening in meeting the Chancellor-elect. He seemed delighted to meet a representative of a University journal. I am sure I was delighted to see the Doctor. We went into the mutual business at once.
Dr. Thwing is pre-eminently an exceptional man. I came to that conclusion in a surprisingly short time. He immediately makes a profound impression, one that will never be lost. Fully six feet tall, his heavy but beautifully proportioned frame balances a finely formed head—a head, I am convinced, that has more vital tissue than is given to the average man. A happy, handsome face is the Doctor's, radiant with the smile of good humor and good sense. Behind a pair of Harvard glasses—I guess they are Harvard glasses for I never saw a Harvard man who didn't wear a pair—there sparkle and laugh and speak
and pierce a pair of wonderful eyes. I think they are blue. Yes, those were remarkable, striking features; they were an interesting study,-I read them. They were intensely scholarly if anything; they were kind, too. They made you smile or you were shamefully rude. But better, there was lots of sympathy behind it all--that sympathy which is death to studied indifference-- that peculiar element-I don't know what to call it—which harmonizes with humanity.
But my talk with Dr. Thwing; it was a pleasant one. The Doctor is a polished conversationalist if nothing else. He didn't say an uninteresting word, but the Courier's space won't let me give them all. Naturally, of course. I asked him first how his visit through our institution had pleased him.
"Pleased? yes, indeed I am. My visit was exceedingly enjoyable. I like your University. I think your Professors are a noble body of a noble institution. And the students, they are fine, noble fellows too. Yes, sir, everything about the the University, its beautiful position and all--more than pleased me."
To the question how he liked the west, he said: "For four years I have been among the people of the west. Of course I am attached to my eastern home, but to say that I like my western one, would be putting it mildly. I am one of those who believe that the west is the place for him who wants to rise in the world. If I wanted a clerkship I would go to New York; but if I wanted a pulpit I would go west. Yes, this is my first visit to Kansas, but so pleasant has it been I am sure it will not be my last."
Charles H. Thwing was born in New Sharon, Me., in 1853. First graduating at Andover, he finished his education at Harvard. As a minister of the Congregational church he filled his first pulpit in Massachusetts; Four years ago he was made pastor fo the First Congregational church at Minneapolis. Here he has become famous as an eloquent divine. The Doctor is a literary man of no little note. His "American Colleges," "The Reading of Books," and the "Social Family" are works of exceptional
Following is an incomplete sketch of this distingnished divine :
merit. He is also editor of he Chicago Advance, the western organ of his church. He is happy to be the possessor of a darling wife and child. Dr. Thwing has recently been offered the presidencies of Oberlin College and Iowa University. He is undecided where to go.
In his present position he gets a salary of $6,000 per year. The Regents promise him $5,000, and give him besides a field of amazing possibility.
Whether Dr. Charles F. Thwing is to be the next Chancellor of the Kansas State University rests wholly with himself. The Regents can do no more. There will be an exciting suspense until we hear the Doctor's ultimatum.
He will take the matter under consideration and his decision is expected in several weeks. It is the general opinion that Dr. Thwing will accept the Chancellorship of the University. The Doctor returned yesterday to his home in Minneapolis. Dr. Thwing will be an exceedingly popular man in Kansas until he is heard from, and if he accepts this proffered prize I believe he will always remain so.—JAY.

Items of general interest to the readers of the COURIER are about as seldom met with this month as the strawberry. If this stagnation of meanness continues among the sportive element much longer, the COURIER, like its contemporary of about equal circulation, the New York Herald, will have to detail some Henry M. Stanley, or perhaps a Nelly Bly to do something that may be read of with interest—lead a snipe hunt for instance. The extreme vigilance of the Faculty in sitting down on the practical jokers, hazers, etc., has made the college newspaper business sorter "tuff" on ye local editor. In the meantime, we offer a box of Havana stindadoras as an inducement to the successful leader of a bona-fide snipe hunt.

THE Regents have done. The wish of a large slice of Kansas people has been ignored. Kansas worth and Prof. Jas. H. Canfield have been gently shelved. But so let it be! Disappointment is allayed in the wisdom of an excellent choice. Though as good a one, no better man could have been selected than Dr. Chas Thwing. Dr. Thwing, the Uuiversity, the Regents and the State are to be congratulated. The Courier does it most heartily.
We take it all back gentleman: the cradle of the Kansas Literary Club is not to be deserted. Never! Nor was it forsaken two weeks ago: the infant was simply given a little needed rest after its hard struggle for life, a sensible preparation for the battles ahead.
In our journey up the hill last Friday evening our expectations were more than gratified—there was no disappointment in that climb. None whatever. The first program of the Kansas Literary Club disappointed nobody.
As we passed into the sacred precincts of old Orophilian Hall we found it in the hands of its new masters—those who had come to consecrate it anew to the noble cause to which it stands a monument. We found a welcome too; the old hall seemed to smile it. Indeed we thought the gray, grim walls never looked so pleasant; nor did we wonder at it. So long alone and neglected they couldn't help but laugh over their new found friends; the idea of being brought to life and light was more than they could stand.
Nor did these new found friends forget to return that happy smile of greeting. Their's was a holy task—to begin anew the struggle for self and followers:—it was with lots of zeal and devotion and good will that they began it. Above all we liked that.
Mr. Barnes followed with a declamation—a funny one we believe. Mr.B.sustained his creditable reputation as a reciter—his selection did, at least.
Taking the oath of office President Pears took the chair and called at once the first performer to the floor. Mr. Potter responded and in an extemporaneous speech discussed the relation of languages to literary work. Mr. Potter's effort was a happy starter—if not a startler. Everybody forgot their dignity when Mr. P. took his seat—amid an ovation.
that trusts were beneficial organizations. He succeeded in making a fairly good speech—but no converts we think.
Mr. Clarence Sears in an extemporanious effort tried to make an anti-poverty audience believe $ \mathrm{e} $
Mr. Fox read one of Addison's sprightly essays and he read it exceedingly well.
In the debate of the pointed question, Resolved, That colonization is a feasible solution of the Negro question, Mr. Whitman gave some pretty sensible-many clinching reasons why the American black man should be transported, while Mr. Robinson was equally as earnest in his belief that the Negro should stick to the land of their misery and freedom. Both arguments showed careful preparation and both were tolerably delivered.
Mr. Hadley closed the evening's program with an oration. We didn't catch the name of it, but concluded it had some sort of a connection with the American eagle and Fourth of July. Mr. Hadley's oration was not wanting in originality—some of it was quite funny. The pity of it was that a most serious subject was made the victim of Mr. Hadley's irresistible nonsense. Yet his effort was a fairly good one—there was some healthful sense and thought about it. His delivery would never have won first place at an oratorical contest, but it seemed to speak a promise that it might and could some day.
The Kansas Literary Club begins its career under a most propitious sky: its present is bright with the sunshine of well earned success. We see no storm cloud and we hope there is none.
ELSEWHERE will be found a continuation of the fraternity discussion. This article is directly a reply to a recent Kansan editorial which warmly denounced the attack upon the fraternities made by "Barb" in the Courier's views columns and which earnestly championed the cause of the Greeks. It remains to be seen whether this communication, like the former one, will be stigmatized as a fraud and an imposition. It remains to be seen, we say, whether Henry Clay Riggs will rise in his might and fall.
Once for all we want to say that the COURIER is not in the business of misrepresentation, that it is not wilfully the mouth piece of dishonesty. This second article like the first is perfectly genuine; its author is a non-fraaternity student of no mean merit and ability. Who he is is nobody's business but his own; when he desires to make known his identity, the COURIER shall do it; not till then. So far the COURIER has not expressed a single comment pro or con upon this interesting discussion. We believe that at present, circumstances demand that we should remain silent. When we shall speak we purpose to be understood. We therefore desire our contemporary to undemand that this disputation is not between the papers, but among the contending factions.
C. S. Duncan, News Dealer 720 Mass. St.
A other Article that Interests Both Barb and Frat-An Able Article Treated Ably.
A REJOINER.
EDITOR COURIER:—From reading your paper during the past month one might suppose you had adopted as your motto—"Tros Tyriusque mihi nulo discrimine agetur."—I admire your impartiality, and trusting I will not bring down a barbarian horde against you or bring forth an ostracism from the Greeks I will submit a few observations. The object which directly provokes these remarks is the two column article in last week's Kansan written by the Editor in answer to "Barb." As the Editor of the Kansan said the article of "barb," was not worthy of an answer, and I agree. I am well aware that the article in the Kansan, as an article, ought to be ignored. It is simply words-words-words. No motive, he said, for writing it—no end to be accomplished but then he felt constrained to write-words-words-words.
But in several places these words are so arranged as to mean something. It is well for the reader to stop and refresh himself at such places, as though they were oases, and he a traveler in a desert. The first one which meets the eye is this—"Secret fraternities, as features in American colleges and universities have long since passed the critical period of their existence, and are now firmly established in almost every institution of higher learning of any importance in the United States." The Editor of the Kansan states this as though it were a matter of history. That the secret society is alive in American colleges the most absolute idiot in Ossawatomie might observe if he should walk through the halls of the University of Kansas. But so is Masonry alive, so is the Louisiana Lottery—But does the fact of their existence prove they have a right to life?
That the Greek fraternity "is established in almost every institution of higher learning" the Editor of the Kansan, if he knows anything, knows is false.
Let him turn to page 22 of the Princeton Catalogue and read what is there said of secret societies. And how does he rank Harvard, Oberlin, Monmouth, Minnesota State University, West Point, Virginia Military Institute and a score of others? The truth is the gentleman will have to rustle if he shows fraternities in one half the higher institutions. He very calmly begs the question — reminds me somewhat of the story "Pat how will you get that rock out of the wagon?" Count it out" said Pat and moved on.
If the fraternity can prove its right to live, I know of no sensible non-fraternity student who wishes to murder it. But I contend there is a principle at stake and the non-fraternity student has his side to maintain as well as the fraternity student. And such ponderous logic? ) as "you have never been on the inside, so what do you know of it?" will have no effect whatever.
He points to the vast fraternity Alumni and reasons from them that the fraternities will stay. Why not as well point to the ten times as great an Alumni who oppose the fraternity and reason that they will not stay? Neither will the opinions of President Adams settle the question, be he ever so wise. Why not as well say they are a nuisance and quote Hon. Wm. E. Evarts "they are a curse to the college" or our former Chancellor Dr. Lippincott, in the fall of '87, "I can trace the wreck of many a life 40 the fraternity hall." I have a curious deere to know who that mostprominent eastern divine might be, who should give vent to such sacrileg as, "next to the church of God I love Psi U."
However, for every ten divines the Kanson will quote as favorable to the beloved god we willquote ninety who discard this god for the entire service of the other God.
There was one mean sneaking thrust, however, in the Kansan's article, which I was surprised to see, being personally acquainted with the Editor. He evidently assumes clear through that the non-fraternity students are not so from principle but of necessity, because, indeed, they have not been invited to join. I would like to speak in the Kansan's ear so that it would resound there far into the night—and so that it might reach those whom the Kansan taught (?) outside our U: that the great majority of non-fraternity students are so from principle; and when he intimates such a thing as he did, through his paper he commits a sin against the non-fraternity students, and belies our University.
If all the "rag tags" are non secret of necessity, does that argue anything against the conci entious non-fraternity student?
There are just as many good non-fraternity students as there are fraternity, with the "rag tags" thrown in, and they are just as cleanly in appearance. And, if you will not designate me as a "tearer of hair" I will say there is a number of non-fraternity students who will go ahead of the fraternity students in gentlemanly manners, rank with them in classes, smoke less on an average, and do vastly less swearing. Now Mr. Kansan think on these things. It is really quite embarrassing to a poor inoffensive fraternity student

to be suddenly shot up to the top of a solitary obelisk in lonely and isolated grandeur" says the Kansan. For this once we will condescend to be just as incondite as he; I admit that this is really rather an embarrassing position for an "inoffensive fraternity student" to occupy. But the "inoffensive fraternity man" is such a rare article it is certainly due the populace to have a square look at him.
The fraternity problem is exceedingly knotty and one about which great men talk. It is far from my desire to stir up feeling yet I have my own opinion in the matter and believe it is right and I assure the Kansan the "Barbs" are not all of the pachydermatous species as he evidently believes.
While "Barb" took a decidedly cynical view of "the state of affairs" yet if you divide his statements by two, you about have "the state of affairs" in K. S. U. Class spirit all gone and the good healthful contest between classes, which changes yearly, substituted by a continual wrangle between cliques
It must have been very humiliating for our impartial Courier after making the reply it did to Hesperian, about the Courier's position on fraternities and literary societies, (a friend to both) to then publish such a stinging editorial inlast week's issue on the success (?) of the Literary Club whose members, all except two, are fraternity men,and at the same time pay such a glowing tribute to Adelphic Society which is strictly non-fraternity. I make these statements for the information of those outsiders who don't know what the fraternities at K. S.U. are.
And now lest I should be compared to "Tennyson's brook," will cease—Mr. Editor I thank you.

Do Not Read the Following.
A man or woman who has not the courage and principle to speak openly and above board, is more to be feared than the midnight assassin, and the one who could be guilty of so treacherous a crime that he or she to sacrifice one to carry out some infamous desire which, if accomplished, would place them above a degraded level is worse than Judus. You will sometime hear of another's whispering in the ear of a so-called confident that fellow who is known as I. C. G. is slightly off. Now I don't want you to say anything about this little thing because I don't want to be pulled up before court. Why I wouldn't for the world, I simply think it is horrible," forgetting all the time the nefarious crime committed days gone by, but not appealing to their Maker for a redemption of their polluted soul.
“Well, now you have gone through all this ridiculous collections of prevarications What is there to the stories about I. C. G.? Well, now you said you wouldn't say anything about it so I will tell you.” “Who are you any how? I have heard of you before, but would rather be more informed about your pedigree.” “Well in order that you may be more informed about my pedigree and general bearing would say that I am Aunt Rebecca Cranky.” “Are you married?” “No. Were you ever married!” “Yes.” “Is your husband living?” “No—well yes, that is to say—well he was when last heard from.” “When last heard from!! Why I don't understand you.” “Well, I'll tell you this much about our little episode. He always was a great man to have his clothes in good shape and often when I was out calling I might be longer telling my friends the faults and foibles of my neighbors than I had realized and when I attended to this one needful duty devolved upon me, I have neglected to keep buttons sewed on his pants, in fact I put them on myself and owing to the fact that habits are easily formed, I neglected to return them to the rightful owner, and the habit being formed it is difficult now to exist without them. While the use of I. C. G. will keep up and maintain my physical anatomy it will not keep my clothes mended nor the buttons sewed on my pants”
"Well, I did not intend to keep
you this long listening to me and you may not believe but Mrs. Peggy Blueberage and Uncle Jerry Loafer or Young Sam Guilllysone will tell you the same thing that I have told you. Did you ever hear of any one else that was acquainted with I. C. G?” “Yes, there was Maria Tattler.”“ Yes, well what do you know of her?” “Oh she's all right, to be sure she cannot converse as rapidly as Peggy, but she is better informed.”“ How do you account for that?”“ Well, her friends and informants have less to do and are universal frequenters of all the disreputable resorts.”“ Well, you mean to say that I. C. G. is a guest of such places?”“ No, but there is the place we find the material for black mailers, thieves, burglars, cut throats and slandersers, all of whom are ready tools in the hands of Toliber Slush and his disciples and by a concentrated action, we are always without a doubt able to shake the kingdom of the devil. But I have accomplished the desired effect on I. C. G.”“ No, I can't say that we have.”“ He seems to be too heavily loaded. Guess he uses too pure goods for us. While we have give him up we are determined not to stop until we down some one else. We cannot give up now because we have all to gain and nothing to loose.”“ Well, you have not yet explained to us what object you have in trying to pick to pieces one who attends strictly to his own business.”“ The trouble is just this—I. C. G. does not let us know enough about his affairs—he does not mingle enough with the world, and if there is anyone whom we cordially dislike, it is he who minds his own business and prospers—we want someone of our own cast.”
"No, indeed—did you ever have anything to do with politics? if you have you can imagine how these things are run. The candidate must have managers at each voting place, who must be a man who stands well with the people, furnishing the material for the machinery to be run which must be gathered at all hazards. So we have people who are dressed in the robe and garb of a Christian, sit in the background, but willing to employ without numbers the army of a useless mass of corruption." "You think then if the people were more acquainted with the I. C. G. and used the remedies prescribed that they would become less dyspeptic."

THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
SUBSCRIPTION ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR
VOL. VIII
A FEW MORE WORDS
EDITOR COURIER:—I assure you that it is not a desire to have the last word which impels me to notice the reply of the Kansan to my article in the Courier of March 14. Having assured us that we misunderstood him, he sets forth a declaration of his principles which we would like very much to see in more common use. Personally, I know the editor of the Kansan to be fair and honest minded toward the non-fraternity students: And had he mixed a little of his good sense with his ink at first he would only have done himself and them justice. However, it is not with the person we are dealing but the editor.
The Kansan said "our article (of March 7) was directed solely against those who give vent to such nonsense as 'Barb' was guilty of." Now I wish the editor of the Kansan to distinctly understand that I had not a word to say against him chopping "Barb" up all he pleased for his production. I was not defending him in the least. But the Kansan may make all the explanations it pleases its article of March 7 will always read the same, and such sentences as these show where the article struck. "The author of this production signs himself only 'Barb' and he is evidently one of the rank' species." That is to say, the whole set belongs to some lower genus and this particular one was a little over grown in some respect. And whom does this concern? "It is not our policy as a rule to engage in disputes in which nothing is at stake." And again "the article in question, to anyone at all acquainted with the college fraternity system, is extremely absurd and verile in its nature." We would like to ask the Kansan if this was directed simply against "Barb?" In that statement the Kansan accuses the whole body of non secret students of upholding an absurd and puerile principle. He simply takes this man and with him belabors the whole class.
The Kansan replied that it had "no intention of implying that all the non fraternity students were such from necessity." No, perhaps not, but it gave vent to underhanded thrusts such as these: "Probably he has not been asked to join and is bitter" and "I don't believe our friend could possibly have been rushed by a fraternity" and so on. For these statements he had not an iota of proof. Can the editor of
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAR. 28, 1890.
the Kansan draw the line on literary worth and say this one or that one has not been invited to join a fraternity? We think not, and inasmuch as the Kansan was striking blindly it struck both the honest and dishonest
He stated that there were many mistakes in my article, and especially singled out my statement of the colleges where fraternities did not exist as very erroneous. It is altogether possible that there is a mistake in one of the colleges named. But that is immaterial. The Kansan had it, "fraternities are established in almost every institution of higher learning." Now almost every means a good many, and as I said before, I am willing to repeat that the Kansan will have to rustle if it finds them in one-half of the higher institutions of learning.
"We shall not stop to make any corrections or criticisms, but we are ready to give facts to prove every statement we made," said the Kansan, referring to the statements made in its first article. We would like to see the facts to prove this statement taken from the article referred to: "The fraternities, with rare exceptions, include the best students, the most able, intelligent and talented young men and women in the U. As to aristocracy, if personal cleanliness, and neatness in personal appearance constitutes aristocracy, then the fraternity men do certainly have the advantage over the bulk of the Barbs."
Bn.
Now, dear Kansan, I am not much given to moralizing, but it does seem to me that if you had read again your own article which has caused this discussion, and viewed it from a literary and logical stand point, you would never have published your criticism on the Courier's journalism; not at least until your own had been forgotten. Your article in last week's issue in answer to mine was straight forward and to the point and I hope we may take it in preference to the other as your view.
A word to the non-fraternity students:
I have lately been thinking considerably of this matter and it does seem to me that it would be to the best interest of the non-fraternity students to form a non-fraternity League. I do not believe in declaring war on the fraternities. Neither do I exactly, in college life, believe in the doctrine "whoseover shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also" for after this beyond a doubt you would be solicited to entertain the foot as well. All the students in the University are thoroughly organized except the non-fraternity, and they must trust for all they get either to a row among the fraternities or to luck—Let us form a League.
THE SOCIETIES.
ADELPHIC
The meeting of Adelphic Literary Society last Friday night was up to usual standard. All the productions showed research in matter and care in style. After recess a very animated debate was had. The music by the society quartette was enthusiastically received and the quartette was recalled. Messrs E. E. Slosson, Fred Liddeke and Alva Sweezy were elected members of the society. Owing to the time taken up by regular literary work at the Friday evening sessions, a business meeting was held Saturday morning. A committee was appointed to buy pictures for the hall and this committee has purchased four very fine steel engravings which now decorate the walls of the society room.
KANSAS.
The Literary Club is making rapid, sturdy strides toward success; and success for that organization means not life merely, but the accomplishment of a purpose which gives to the English department of the University an invaluable aid, and to the general student a field of literary labor of unsurpassed excellence. The assurance of its success is unquestionable. The plan of work is a model of efficiency, and its first fruits bear the stamp of care and earnest effort.
Last Friday evening when Pres. Peairs called the meeting to order, a band of enthusiastic literary workers responded with one of the best programs the Club has yet rendered; the principal feature of which was Mr. Snow's "paper" on Mesmerism—a thoroughly interesting and instructive production. Other attractive features were Harold Barnes' reading, Mr. Robinson's extemporaneous speech, and Mr. W. J. Sears' declamation. The debate was warm and spirited. Messrs. Roberts and C. H. Sears ably defended Speaker Reed in his late rulings regarding a quorum, but were successfully opposed by Messrs W. .D. Brown and Fiegenbaum.
How different this from the loose, uninteresting meetings of the old societies, whose programs were half rendered and then but poorly. The secret of it lies in the fact that the Club accepts none but workers, believing that the length of its membership roll is not an index to the success of a
society. Its plan of work is sufficient stimulus to earnest endeavor, and few failures are expected. At last Friday's meeting, Mr. Ackley was voted a member of the club, and the name of J. M. Challis proposed. Several visitors were present, prominent among whom was Prof. Carruth. In order to allow those interested an opportunity to inspect the work that is being done, it was decided to hold the next three consecutive sessions with open doors, and visitors are cordially invited. After this, the club will meet beyond the public gaze.
Prof. McDonald Resigns.
Prof. McDonald, as Dean of the Music school, has tendered his resignation to the Regents. It will take effect at the close of this term. This retirement of Prof. McDonald is a great loss to the University and State, and it is heard with universal regret.
For six years Prof. McDonald has untiringly labored for the interest and success of his department. Its present high standard and enviable reputation is principally due to his loyal and able efforts. Beginning with the most meager means, he has made the Musical school an honor and credit to the University. Prof. McDonald merits the thanks and praise of the State
He leaves to enter Harvard. The COURIFR joins hands with his many friends in wishing him a future of success and happiness.

The A.A.of K.S.U.has added an impetus to the athletic sports. Who would have believed it? A boating club? Why not? The run above the dam affords one of the finest race courses.
Prof. Marsh is championed by the Journal as candidate for Chancellor. Next to Prof. J.H. Canfield we would favor Prof. Marsh.

Sewerage controversies have revolutionized the local pages of our dailey papers. We may expect society items to read thusly after next week: Miss May Gushington, the accomplished daughter of Alderman Gushington, entertained at her beautiful home in the Postage Stamp district (2) with what is termed a progressive Sewer Party. Miss Josie Society of Sewer District No. 6, won the first prize, a beautiful Water Color Sewer map on which the delicately tinted lines "jerry mandered" in a manner so entirely true to life that you fancied to hear the musical gurgle of the dishwater coursing from the untaxed sink of a city councilman. Mr. Chas Flushing was the happy recipient of the booby prize, an elegant leather bound volume of "Kronin in a catch basin" with a brindle bookmark.
Philomathian society will present an interesting program next Tuesday evening at the house of Wm. Orr.

D. R. Anthony's paper, the Leavenworth Times asserts that there is a clique of big-headed young men at K. S. U. who are bound to have Canfield for chancellor. Right again D. R. We know the man we want for chancellor and you dont, that's the difference.

Our Exeqange Table.
The latest cautionary signals at the University indicate approaching Snow. —Record.
WE call the attention of the State University to the fact that there is a prominent Chancellor out of a job and he is a sound protectionist, too. We refer of course to Chancellor Bismark.-Marion Record.
THE Washington Jeffersonian is a model for college journalists. Its March number is one of exceptional merit. Its article on "Reading the Newspaper," is one of great interest to all students. We hope to find room for most of it in our next issue.
As a pleasant consummation of its growth and expansion the Baker Beacon has replaced its head with a bigger and brighter one. We are fully confident that the Beacon will thoroughly sustain the enlargement, though it is in a very dubious place. A wise move gentlemen.
ONE of our most welcome exchanges is the Clay Center Dispatch, edited by Bion S. Hutchins. The University claims Mr. Hutchins as one of her most distinguished graduates—she is proud of him. The Dispatch is a journal of exceptional worth and brilliancy. We appreciate the courtesy that prompts Mr. H. to send his paper to our Table.
The Capital believes the time has come in the history of Kansas for the friends of the University to insist that it be conducted for the educational interests of the State by competent men in the board of regents and be freed from the influence of ward politicirs, and that a professional educator of ability and experience be placed at the head as chancellor.—Topeka Capital.
THE Washburn Argo turns its red sails to the March gales with enough good sense on board to ensure it a happy voyage. But, say, Argo, what is the matter with the eyes of your proof-reader? Suffering the same trouble that bothers the rest of us? But it is with our proof sheets as it is with our lives: our neighbor can see a hundred mistakes where we would swear there were none. When you give your proof-reader a "turning over," just give him our sympathy
This week brings the first number of the Irving Journal, a monthly published by the Irving Literary Society of Chillicothe.
Ohio. As a visitor from home its reception is doubly hearty The Editor, Lorin B. Sears seems to be trying to follow the impossible footsteps of an unfortunate relative. We don't want to make this a family affair, but the Journal makes a decidedly pleasant appearance; its bow is conventional enough to be graceful and its manners are sensible enough to be literary The Journal contains much that interests ye editorial scribe: it brings the past and tells of old, dear things—home, friends, enough! There will be lots of room on our Table for it.
THE Lawrence journal, has nominated Prof. A. R. Marsh for the chancellorship of the University. The nomination is certainly sound and judicious. In our opinion, next to Prof. Canfield, Prof Marsh is the most suitable candidate. Formerly of the University, Prof. Marsh is known well enough in Kansas to meet with the approval of our people and press. He is universally regarded by the students as an unusually broad and learned man. His Alma Mater, Harvard, has thought him worthy of one of her highest professorships, and surely K. S. U. ought to recognize his worth as well. Prof. Marsh could raise the standard of the University as no other man but Prof. J. H. Canfield could.
A CHICAGO court has recently decided that dusting law books is an employment beneath the station of an office law student. The case was this: a young man entered a law office at a salary of $275 per year with the understanding that he was to "read law and make himself generally useful." One day his employees ordered him to dust and arrange some dirty law books. He refused. They discharged him. He sued for a year's salary and the court decided in his favor.
How the times change! When Abraham Lincoln was plodding along with his Blackstone dusting of books was not the meanest work he had to do. But ours is an age of which Honest Abe never dreamed. Just what he would have done, in his time, to a young man who should have refused to sweep the office out, is very easily guessed. Yes, ours is a wonderful age. Legal protection is to idleness and disobedience; and honorable labor, though low, is stamped with disgrace. Sturdy brawn is giving way to effeminate whims. Verily, the times have changed! But we don't like the change. Are the young men of today better than those of Lincoln's time? Is labor less honorable than it once was? Is there a loss of dignity in honest toil? If so, this generation is to be pitied, helped, defended, revolutionized, advanced!
IT is reported that the Phi Psis were very successful with their lecture course scheme. The Courier congratulates the young gentlemen. They certainly displayed perseverence, pluck and energy; and that always merits success
IN the resignation of Prof. McDonald, the University looses a thoroughly earnest and competent instructor. Always conscientious and careful, his excellent labors have added much to the worth and stability of the University. We sincerely regret the loss.
We note with pleasure the great interest the students are taking in the athletic affairs of the University Nothing seems to lag for want of encouragement. Every sport is loyally supported. The future of the Athletic Association is becoming brighter each day Success is inevitable.
GEO. KENNAN is building for for humanity. His is a labor for the future good and happiness of fellow men His is an edifice founded upon mercy and justice, and built for the shelter and defence of right and reason.
He tells of the horrors and heart aches of the present, that the future may be better and brighter.
As a lecturer Mr. Kennan is a success. There is no useless verbiage and rhetorical trickery in his story; it needs none, for back of that calm and simple and unvarnished narration, is seen the noble character of the speaker, the pitiful woe of suffering humanity and the manly appeal for mercy. We felt that Mr. Kennan was sincere, and that was enough to win our rapt attention and admiration.
We would like to say that there is a sentiment among the Faculty and students of the University and among the people of the State that the Kansas State University should have a Chancellor. Perhaps you have noted the fact.
We would like to say further that there is a sentiment among the Faculty and students of the University and among the people of Kansas that the next Chancellor of the Kansas State University shall be a Kansas man. You certainly have become aware of this fact. If not, turn to the recent numbers of Kansas papers and then be convinced. If not, ask your son, your neighbor, who they want for the next chancellor of the University. They will dispell your ignorance.
The question now has com down to this: What Kansan shall it be? Were tongues freed from partisan prejudice and tyranny there would be but one universa shout. If Kansas merit were honored and justice done there could be but one selection.
Prof J. H. Canfield should be

A Psychology Class Poem.
Oldreary, dreary was the room
And dreary was the night
When first I hailed these college halls
In a Freshman's garb headlamp
But woeful would have been my case,
Had I known what now I do.
That in this part of the universe
It's "Dreary" the whole day through
CLASS POET.
The local "sewer" agitation seems even to have penetrated University circles. While this subject at first glance appears to be a matter of very little concern to the students and the institution he attends yet, on reflection we are able to perceive how the question may be one of vital importance to the future prosperity of the city and which consequently will have its effect on the University. On he one hand it is contended that Lawrence stands in dire need of sewerage—In order to attain the object the enthusiast appears to let his uncurbed desire master his better judgment by endorsing the plan as adopted by the city council.
On careful investigation of the sewer map and the newspaper controversy during the past two weeks we fail to see how the proposed plan of division into sewer districts can meet with the approbation of the intelligent citizens. To speak frankly the whole business gives forth an oder which we hope was never equaled by any fluids which the sewer is supposed to bear in its bosom.
We recognize the fact that as a sanitary measure some method of drainage should be introduced, but can we not afford at our present very small mortality rate viz. less than one per cent, to wait until a better plan can be hit upon?
The Base Ball enthusiasts are beginning to load the air with tales of past fame upon the diamond, and are preparing to swear that the K. S. U. nine is the best amateur team in the west.

Prof. Snow secured three specimens of the iron and nickel aerolite that was discovered in Kiowa Co. These specimens weigh respectively 100,60 and 40 lbs. They are rare acquisitions to the museum.
W. E. Gray will address the Unity Club next Monday evening on the Race Problem from the stand point of the Negro.
Geo. Kennan was greeted with a crowded house. The lecture course will always be successful if it has such men as Kennan.
The Sigma Nu's gave a little hop in their hall last Saturday evening. Miss Bertie Smyser of Sterling, Kans. was the honored guest of the occasion.
Mrs J. E. Curry, remembered as a student of the U. has spent some time at her old home in Effingham. Owing to the sickness of her mother, she returned this week to her home in Huntsville, Ohio.

Something Handsome
Or at least as handsome as you are, is what a photograph of yourself taken at Mettner's Studio will be. Mettner enjoys an enviable reputation among the University people—professors and students, on account of the high class of work which he always turns out, and at reasonable prices. Every student will want one or more dozen photos before the close of school, especially if you are going to graduate. In order to see in what esteem Mettner is held by the students, just visit his studio and note the pictures of the higher classmen or of those who have recently graduated. Mettner's work speaks for itself when once seen.
